Suspension sinking!!

Morning all,

Been putting this off for a while now but seems to be getting worse! If i leave it in normal height, by morning its sunk mainly at the back, but as soon as i start it up,it lifts to normal height again without too much of an issue.

So i'm thinking compressor not holding pressure, or could it be rear valve block? When it sinks it does seem to be relatively even at the back so i don't think its air cushions,it doesn't fart anymore either and its definately not just lowering for easy access, its alot lower than that but not on bump stops i don't think.

Any thoughts welcome, its not bothering me too much at mo, but i know i'll go to it one day and HDC fault frenzy no doubt Big Cry so i'd rather be pro-active on sorting it out Thumbs Up

Darrell

sounds like an air leak of some description. Not had it on the D3 yet, but my TD5 did this a lot.....until one day it would not lift up.

On inspection both air bags were done for.

if yours is dropping all round I would suspect a vlave block leak.

Hi dsd,
Are you parking on level ground or on a downslope? If the latter, it could just be the suspension trying to "self-level" the D3.

Best Wishes,

If still out on level surfaces try getting a height recalibration done. If this doesn't work then could be a height sensor. Idea
